    • A 3D Perceptual Metric using Just-Noticeable-Difference 

      Cheng, Irene; Boulanger, Pierre (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In multimedia applications, it is essential to distribute resources efficiently among different types of data in order to optimize overall quality. We propose a perceptual metric using Just-Noticeable-Difference (JND) to ...

    • Computer Graphics Courseware 

      Ullrich, T.; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      A lot of courseware tools suffer from the almost mutually exclusive goals of ease of usability on the one hand and extensibility and flexibility on the other hand. In most cases the tools are either ready-to-use applications ...

    • Constriction Computation using Surface Curvature 

      Hétroy, F. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper provides a curvature-based algorithm to compute locally shortest geodesics on closed triangulated surfaces. These curves, which are called "constrictions", are useful for shape segmentation. The key idea of the ...

    • Deforming and Animating Discretely Sampled Object Representations 

      Chen, M.; Correa, C.; Islam, S.; Jones, M. W.; Shen, P.-Y.; Silver, D.; Walton, S. J.; Willis, P. J. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      A discretely sampled object representation (DSOR) defines a graphical model using data obtained by a sampling process, which takes a collection of samples at discrete positions in space in order to capture certain geometrical ...

    • Differential Photon Mapping - Consistent Augmentation of Photographs with Correction of all Light Paths 

      Grosch, Thorsten (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Augmenting images with consistent lighting is possible with differential rendering. This composition technique requires two lighting simulations, one simulation with only real geometry and another one with additional virtual ...

    • Efficient Architecture for Low-Cost Adaptive 3D Graphics-Based E-Learning Applications

      This work describes the design and implementation of the Virtual Reality Tool (VRT), a core component within the educational platform developed for the European research project IST-2001-33184, SLIM-VRT (Self Learning ...

    • Efficient, Physically Plausible Finite Elements 

      Nesme, Matthieu; Payan, Yohan; Faure, François (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper discusses FEM-based simulations of soft bodies in terms of speed and robustness. To be physically plausible, three fundamental laws must be respected: rotational invariance, Newton's law and Euler's law. We show ...

    • Estimating Mobile Memory Requirements and Rendering Time for Remote Execution of the Graphics Pipeline 

      Banerjee, Kutty; Wu, Fan; Agu, Emmanuel (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Mobile devices have limited processing power, memory and battery power. Remote execution, wherein part or entire graphics pipeline is offloaded to a powerful surrogate server, is an attractive solution for low end mobile ...

    • Facial Motion Cloning Using Global Shape Deformation 

      Fratarcangeli, Marco; Schaerf, Marco (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      We present a novel Facial Motion Cloning method relying on the combination of the radial basis functions (RBF) based scattered data interpolation with the encoding capabilities of the MPEG-4 Facial and Body Animation (FBA) ...

    • Fast and Controllable 3D Modelling From Silhouettes 

      Prasad, Mukta; Fitzgibbon, Andrew; Zisserman, Andrew (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      We show how a 3D model of a complex curved object can be easily extracted from a single 2D image. A userdefined silhouette is the key input; and we show that finding the smoothest 3D surface which projects exactly to this ...
